Halloween: H20 -- Variously known as ``Halloween 7'' and ``Halloween: The Revenge of Laurie Strode,'' Steve Miner's revision of the original slasher picture brings back Jamie Lee Curtis to the role that made her America's scream queen in a tale of Michael's return to haunt his sister, now dean of an all-girl's school. Miner, a ``Friday the 13th'' veteran who also made ``Forever Young,'' has a cast that includes Michelle Williams, Josh Hartnett, Adam Arkin, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, Adam Hann-Byrd, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Nancy Stephens and Janet Leigh, the star's mother and slasher victim in ``Psycho.'' Kevin Williamson (``Scream'') made uncredited contributions to the script and John Carpenter is a producer.

Snake Eyes -- Nicolas Cage and Gary Sinise head the cast of Brian DePalma's thriller about a detective who witnesses the assassination of the U.S. secretary of defense. The cast includes Carla Gugino, Stan Shaw, David Anthony Higgins, Kevin Dunn, Joel Fabiani, Luis Guzman and Chip Zien. The screenplay is by David Koepp, who worked on the ``Jurassic Park'' screenplays.
